Detailed Description

a linear model of the Wifi transmit current


Introspection did not find any typical Config paths.

This model assumes that the transmit current is a linear function of the nominal transmit power used to send the frame. In particular, the power absorbed during the transmission of a frame $ W_{tx} $ is given by the power absorbed by the power amplifier $ W_{pa} $ plus the power absorbed by the RF subsystem. The latter is assumed to be the same as the power absorbed in the IDLE state $ W_{idle} $.

The efficiency $ \eta $ of the power amplifier is given by $ \eta = \frac{P_{tx}}{W_{pa}} $, where $ P_{tx} $ is the output power, i.e., the nominal transmit power. Hence, $ W_{pa} = \frac{P_{tx}}{\eta} $

It turns out that $ W_{tx} = \frac{P_{tx}}{\eta} + W_{idle} $. By dividing both sides by the supply voltage $ V $: $ I_{tx} = \frac{P_{tx}}{V \cdot \eta} + I_{idle} $, where $ I_{tx} $ and $ I_{idle} $ are, respectively, the transmit current and the idle current.

For more information, refer to: Francesco Ivan Di Piazza, Stefano Mangione, and Ilenia Tinnirello. "On the Effects of Transmit Power Control on the Energy Consumption of WiFi Network Cards", Proceedings of ICST QShine 2009, pp. 463–475

If the tx current corresponding to a given nominal transmit power is known, the efficiency of the power amplifier is given by the above formula: $ \eta = \frac{P_{tx}}{(I_{tx}-I_{idle})\cdot V} $
